Hi,

I just signed up and have been looking around and reading all the "newbie"/intro threads I can find. I've grasped the glossary, but I do have one main question:

How much do I need to fly for all this to be worth it? I'm moving to the US from Europe next year, and am looking at 2/3 trips back home per year, and maybe a couple flights within North America each year. Is it worth it trying to learn all this stuff to get upgrades/free flights, or is this just feasible for someone who flies a LOT more?

I really appreciate your perspectives - thanks in advance for your help!
